Ran 11 miles yesterday after a 7 day hiatus. We have been busy hauling things from my husband's granny's apartment. She passed away 2 weeks ago and we had to help his mom get rid of some things and salvage whatever still has value.
We took home a few items like an old medicine cabinet and beat up drawer. We plan to repaint it but havent decided on the color yet.
Another important heirloom we found was this

| star of david |
Yes a star of david from his great great grandfather who is a German Jew. My husband was not indoctrinated as a Jew growing up. He and I both grew up as Christians by default. Nevertheless I feel very strongly about supporting a country who has been subject to constant condemnation and attack by ruthless criminals and biased kangaroo court (United Nations). I am still in shock over the crazy things happening these past few weeks with words of hostility and insult being hurled at Israelis and collectively Jews because of the chaos in the Middle East. I just pray that there will be a longer truce or ceasefire because noone really ever wins in a war. I also hope the madness in Iraq against the Christians, perpetrated by the ISIS would end soon and with minimal damage or sadly deaths..I can only hope and pray. And i pray for less stupid people who take advantage of any tragedy to spew hatred and antisemitism.
Anything about religion nowadays is just too emotionally taxing which is kind of ironic. So im going to veer away from that topic and go back to what this blog is all about again. running and food.
Anyways, I ran at Central Park yesterday and couldnt help but be captivated by the wonderful view of the park and also the reservoir. Also took some photos of runners and cyclists. Place was teeming with people even on a weekday.
